Course summary

Computer Science is for anyone who wishes to develop their analytical thinking and problem-solving skills. With computational thinking at its core, pupils are prompted to provide solutions to problems by modelling, analysing and designing solutions and then implementing them. Problem-solving requires precision, creativity and careful reasoning. Computer Science is a creative subject, involving innovative thinking and the development of ideas through coding. Valued highly by universities and employers, this course lays an appropriate foundation for further study of Computer Science, Engineering and Physics. It is advised that those who wish to study a Computer Science degree should combine it with A Level Mathematics as this is a pre-requisite at many universities. Many problems arising within the sciences, engineering, health care and business can be solved effectively with computers. However, finding a solution requires both computer science expertise and knowledge of the particular application domain. Thus, computer scientists often become proficient in other subjects.
